My Kenyan adventure continues with a safari! I never in my life would have thought I would get to do something so very cool. It was amazing.

We went a few hours outside of Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park. (The one thing to know about Lake Nakuru is that it is a smaller game park, with less animals, and it has no elephants because of it's size. But, because it is so small your chances of seeing everything are great and it is perfect for a 1-2 day safari.) On our way we stopped at a lookout to see over the Great Rift Valley.

It was a beautiful view (and this poor picture does it no justice).

We stayed at the Lake Nakuru Lodge. The rooms were very nice and our rooms overlooked the national park with cape buffalo right outside the fence line (and the occasional monkey or baboon visitor inside the fence). The food was delicious and we ate lunch outside overlooking the park. The Lodge was a wonderful place to stay and we enjoyed it very much.

Our driver/guide was excellent. He drove slowly on our way into the park and we saw many animals. Then we had a late afternoon drive after lunch, a dip in the awesome pool, tea time, and a nap. The next morning we grabbed a quick bit to eat, did an early morning drive, came back and showered and packed, and checked out. On the way out our guide drove slowly again so we could see more, and we stopped at the "Out of Africa" lookout to get a last view of the park.

Afternoon tea. I loved this about Kenya!

Lions; oh my!

Carcass.

White rhinos; they were one of my faves.

Look Daddy; I'm up at the crack of dawn smiling at lions.

It was a short safari, but I am so glad we did it.

There are lots of places you can safari at while in Kenya. I would also recommend Masai Mara National Reserve or Nairobi National Park (depending upon where you fly into, how long you have, what time of year it is (during rainy seasons some areas are much harder to get to), and what kind of experience you would like).
